I LOVE the comfort of the old Star Trek format. The utopian idealness is what makes Star Trek what it is, imo. I am not a big fan of Enterprise for it's serializing of the franchise nor it's attempt to make it "gritty". I really enjoy the stand-alone episodes that deal with big ideas, moral dilemmas, political questions and more. An over-arching story line is fine (Voyager, DS9).
Don't get me wrong, I love some serialized dramas, but it just isn't for Star Trek. I don't think that Gene Roddenberry would be super thrilled about the recent turn of his creation.
I just have a feeling this new ST is going to be inspired more by the recent reboot/alternate "terrist" timeline movies than about the old ST.
Simple solution: Make the law ban shared dwelling buildings.... see how easy that is? You should be able to do whatever you want with your own home....
I am with you. My.....rural... family is doing the Trump thing... it is a total small town feedback loop. I happen to be living with family for a few weeks and it is amazing how insulated a community is even 20 miles out of the city.
Of course, the city also provides a feedback loop of a sort. However, the difference is that the city houses many different voices simultaneously and people encounter different people all the time. The suburbs and rural areas are enclaves of similar groupthink.
And I know you're going to try to point out how corrupt Trump is with his business deals, but remember, corruption requires political power, and as much as you may not like how he does business deals, he's never held political office so has never been in a position to demonstrate corruption
First of all, politics is everywhere, not just in government. Politics is all around us all the time.
Second, corruption does not require political power of any kind. You can be corrupt as hell and only affect yourself or a few people. It is just that the greater the political power, the greater the corrupt footprint is.
Donald Trump did not get to where he is today by being a poor politician. He does not exist in a vacuum. He had to convince a lot of people along the way to go along with his vision. He is standing on the shoulders of thousands of people. He is a politician and not only that, he has proven (at least to me) that he will use all of the tried and true tactics of any career politician. He also happens to be a misogynist of the first order as well as a bit of a racist.
Just think how many barometric sensors you could put in the freed space! The possibilities are endless. Perhaps they could use it for a different key altogether! Like.... I don't know.... an F0 key or separate out the ` and ~ into their own keys! Progress!
I got the impression that hey went into the back with the officials to then watch the historic ride on a monitor. If that isn't a commentary on society today, I don't know what is.

You must be a real pussy
Donald Trump, is that you?
I agree.
I think that we have seen the last of the utopian sandbox format of the series which I really love.

Hopefully I am wrong.
Only if Siri responds with "Sure, let me Google that for you..."
Sokath, his eyes uncovered!
Are you calling me a baby?
Because if you are..... WAAAAAAAHHHHHH!

Take a nice big bite of that turd sandwich and smile like you love it!
What if the script kiddings worked for state actors?!

IMO, hastening the apocalypse is the only valid reason for voting for Trump.
Conversely, that the republicans do have the election sufficiently rigged, but he will go with that rigged outcome because.... Trump!
You know, I keep wondering why nobody ever made a big deal about that after the first debate?
Both Trump and Hillary said the same things about guns, basically that they shouldn't be in the hands of criminals, i.e. stricter gun control laws.
Yet nobody jumped on Trumps back about those words and he even got the NRA's endorsement.... so wtf?
Make sure that fear informs your vote. You wouldn't want it to go to waste...

This is exactly how I feel.
The whole "throw your vote away" thing is rhetoric devised by the 2 parties to help lock us in to their system. It is FUD at its finest.
A USB-C dongle with a single Esc key on it....

Remove the \ ... only Windows users use that key. The | will just be a necessary casualty in order for progress to be made.
Courage!
Darn. In that case, give me a good old America pilsner then :)
And as far as the tastes the same coming out as going in thing. I'll take your word for it.
It is not exactly the cheapest beer on the shelf as it is.
Personally, I'm a Hamms man myself. Or Old Style if I want to change things up. Both are cheaper than Bud.
I drink Bud when I want to feel classy.
I think that there is a Walmart greeter position with your name on it.
Welcome to Walmart, I love you...
